Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) has been ruled out for the season.

The Mets say that Cespedes' right hamstring strain is a six-week injury, which is obviously an issue given that there are five weeks remaining in the season. It ends an up-and-down 2017 campaign for the 31-year-old slugger, as he hit a healthy .292/.352/.540 but was limited to 81 games due to numerous leg issues. Aug 28 - 7:54 PM

Mets placed OF Yoenis Cespedes on the 10-day DL with a right hamstring strain.

While Cespedes sounds intent on returning this season, there's a chance that the injury could force him to miss the final six weeks. Aug 26 - 11:16 AM

Mets' general manager Sandy Alderson confirmed after Friday's game that Yoenis Cespedes will be placed on the disabled list.

The hamstring injury is believed to be as severe as the one that cost him six weeks earlier in the season. Given the fact that the Mets aren't in contention for a playoff spot, it may be wise to simply shut Cespedes down for the remainder of the season. Aug 25 - 10:36 PM

Yoenis Cespedes was removed from Friday's contest against the Nationals after suffering a right hamstring strain.

Given how the injury looked, it's probably good news that it's just a recurrence of his hamstring strain. It's unclear if he'll require a trip to the disabled list, or if it's something that a few days of rest will take care of. Aug 25 - 8:47 PM

The veteran third baseman missed the entire 2017 season due to a variety of injuries. He underwent surgery in September to repair his right rotator cuff then had a laminotomy procedure on his lower back in early October. While he says that he still has every intention of playing for the Mets again, he's impossible to count on for fantasy purposes.

Mets' general manager Sandy Alderson said Sunday that Michael Conforto (shoulder) may not be ready for Opening Day.

Alderson told reporters Sunday, "He may be ready to go by Opening Day but I don't believe he will be". Conforto underwent surgery in early September to repair a tear of the posterior capsule in his left shoulder. Even if he isn't quite ready by Opening Day, he shouldn't be sidelined for much longer.
